- Amazon will increase compliance and average salary transport at $ 23/hour
- Medical care plans to fall by 34%, from $ 5 per week for the entry level plan
- Free training, retirement savings and parental license also on offer
Amazon has declared that the standard of living and transport employees of the United States will increase in a large investment of $ 1 billion to increase wages.
The average payment in these two types of roles will increase to more than $ 23 per hour, with total compensation (including the benefits) that exceed $ 30 per hour.
It means that full-time employees will see an average annual salary increase of $ 1,600, and long-standing employees get $ 1.10- $ 1.90 per hour additional.
Amazon is increasing wages in the United States
This occurs since long -term employees with more than three years of service have already seen a salary growth of 35%.
But Amazon is not only committed to increasing salaries: it will also make medical care more accessible to its workers, dropping the entry level health plan to $ 5 per week with $ 5 stops, marking a 34% drop in weekly contributions and a very well -welcome drop in the co -faults.
“From small changes such as making it easier to use a flexible time, even more of updates such as expanding educational programs or updating medical care coverage options, we are constantly listening and working to continue improving, every day, together,” shared the Amazon Worldwide Operations Udit Madan SVP.
The company will also offer medical attention to full -time workers from day one, with a 100% free registration among the learning opportunities of 475 partners also on offer. Other work advantages for the company include the coincidence of the company 401 (K) for retirement savings, flexible free time, paid parental license and 24/7 mental health support.
The federal minimum wage is produced by a federal minimum wage of $ 7.25/hour, which makes Amazon an important part of local economies and communities.
However, the company is not exempt from inconveniences, and in 2024 workers from seven US facilities went during the high holiday season after not negotiating contracts and alleged unfair treatment of workers.
